Interest in writing an essay on vulnerability notability

I'm interested in writing a WP:ESSAY on notability of vulnerabilities, particularly CVEs, but I've never done this before so I don't know the procedure. Anyone interested in helping? guninvalid (talk) 21:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and written User:guninvalid/Notability of vulnerabilities. I'm interested in seeing if this could be looked at and elevated to a proper essay. guninvalid (talk) 22:26, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for feedback: Draft article on Todyl, Inc. (cybersecurity company)

Moved from Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Cybersecurity

Hi everyone. I’ve been working on a draft article about Todyl, Inc., a U.S.-based cybersecurity and networking company. The draft currently includes independent sourcing from TechTarget, Built In Colorado, CRN, SiliconANGLE, and ChannelPro. Before I resubmit through AfC, I could use feedback on whether the current sourcing meets notability standards (WP:ORGDEPTH), or if additional secondary features are still needed.

Here’s the draft link: Draft:Todyl

Thank you for taking a look! Absent.Editor (talk) 18:47, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Absent.Editor, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! I've gone ahead and moved your subject to the main WikiProject instead. guninvalid (talk) 20:32, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
